Demons Lie... A LOT!

[Savannah Stark]

"she checks out mozart while she does tae-bo"

"reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey, hey"

"Here we are, once again, driving down some desolate rural road in the middle of no where. No street lights, no signs, nothing to see for miles it seems but a shit ton of potholes."

Savannah was talking into the voice recorder on her phone as she and Jonah drove through the darkness. Only the headlights providing any illumination in the immediate area.

"Oh yeah, it's also the middle of the night. Of course."

She glanced over at her husband, smiled and clicked off the recorder for a second.

"Jonah, where are we again?"

Turning her head to look at him better she raised a brow as he answered. She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Love you, babe."

Then she turned back to her phone and flipped the recorder back on and started talking again.

"Rick has just informed me that we are 'somewhere in South Dakota,' isn't that lovely. All I see is a bunch of nothing... Remind me again that people actually read these books of mine? If they had any idea how much time we spend in a car just driving through these nameless places where the roads always look the same... I guess it's just one of my magical powers to make all this, crap, sound interesting."

Pausing, she gave a smirk and let her head settle back against the seat. Flicking the recorder off again. Staring out the windshield trying to sort out the thoughts she wanted to record. What she said was the truth. Sometimes hunting really was boring, at least some parts of it. It wasn't the glamorous life that people wanted to think. The romantic notions she wrote about in her books. She left those boring, mundane parts out.

She let out a sigh, closed her eyes for a few moments.

"Honey, how much longer are we going to look for this 'thing' tonight? I'm thinking a nice hot bubble bath would be good right about now. Maybe a place with room service."

I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the Road

Jonah leaned his elbow against the car door, his head resting against his palm, his right hand perched at the top of the steering wheel. It was early October so the weather was on the mild side. During the day it was still a bit warm and sunny but after dark the temperature lowered and allowed a gentle breeze to blow in from the open window, which was definitely a good thing because he had yet to take the car to get the A/C fixed. He was lucky that his wife didn't complain about it too much or nag him about it really. If it had been earlier in the Summer, he imagined she would have.

"Jonah, where are we again?"

He lifted his head and sighed as he glanced to the right side of the road. All that could be seen as they drove for the last several minutes were trees and mile markers, so he had to just make a stab at an answer for her. "My best guess is that we're still somewhere in South Dakota." He was tired, but the slight furrowing of his brow and the turning down of the corners of his mouth were due to more than just fatigue. He was frustrated. They'd been chasing this lead and getting absolutely nowhere. And if that wasn't bad enough, they were apparently on some neverending road, or at least it seemed that way. He hated days like this. Lots of driving. No progression.

"Love you, babe."

The kiss brought him out of his thoughts. He looked over at her and gave her a light smile. "Love you too." He shifted his left hand to the steering wheel so that he could take her hand with his right. Everything was pretty much quiet except for the dull roar of the car's engine and Savannah's voice as she chattered away on her phone. He rolled his eyes a little when she referred to him as Rick but he just continued to listen. She seemed to be as tired as he was.

"Honey, how much longer are we going to look for this 'thing' tonight? I'm thinking a nice hot bubble bath would be good right about now. Maybe a place with room service."

Honestly, he hated the idea of winding down such an unproductive day. He hated when days were wasted like this. But Savannah was right, and the idea of enjoying the rest of the night relaxing with his beautiful wife was definitely a good one. "Yeah. Yeah, okay," he said with a nod. "Soon as we come to the next town we'll find a place to stay."

"reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey, hey"

Sitting back in the seat, her eyes still closed, Savannah squeezed her husband's hand when he clasped hers. Nodding as he reluctantly agreed they should shut it down for the night. She knew he didn't like it. All they had come up against today were dead ends. It had been a frustrating day, but she was tired and she knew he was too. She had even put her phone away, back in her purse. Done with her own 'work' for the night.

"We're worn out. I'm sure we'll find something tomorrow when we have fresh eyes."

Letting her fingers interlock with his she took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. Trying to get a head start on some relaxation. Being in the car for so long she felt all cramped up. A hot bath, some food, a comfy bed and cuddling with her man is what she wanted now. The thought had a small smile tipping her lips up.

"Besides, I really am starving. We need to..."

Savannah didn't get to finish the rest of her sentence because she was jolted from her attempt at relaxing. A loud thud and then a crack at the windshield. Her eyes flashed open just in time to see a person sized blob pressed against the windshield for a moment before it slid across the hood of the car and dropped to the ground. She was thrown forward and she braced herself against the dash. Thankful for the fact she had her seat belt on.

"OHMIGOD!, JONAH!"

She had only had her eyes closed for a few seconds. What the hell had just happened? There had been nothing out in the road. As Jonah worked on getting the car under control and stopped, Savannah worked on not freaking the hell out. She whipped her head around to see what she could see. It was so dark, she couldn't really make anything out. Almost like it hadn't even happened. Except for the fact that there was a huge dent in the windshield with spiderweb cracks running across the whole thing. Whatever it was that had hit them, it was big.

When the car stopped, Savannah didn't even think she just jumped out. Wanting to see if something or someone was hurt. First on her mind was Jonah and she ran around to his side of the car.

"Jonah, are you alright? What the hell happened? What was that? I didn't see anything. Where did it come from? Where did it go? Did you see what it was?"

Savannah had closed her eyes and gone quiet and it seemed like an odd coincidence that  it happened to be the same time they finally came to a sign approaching an exit in the next mile.  It could not have been better timing, as far as Jonah was concerned.  Too bad it was ruined when something.. or someone... landed on the windshield from seemingly nowhere.

"What the fuck?!" he shouted, slamming on the brakes, the car spinning out of control.  He struggled with the steering wheel in his attempts to bring the vehicle to a stop and then the airbag deployed, way too late to be of any use except to forcefully bash him in the face and break his nose.

"GAH!" he cried out, tears of pain stinging his eyes as tasted the blood that ran down from his nose.  He blinked a few times, disoriented, and looked over slowly into the passenger seat to find Savannah gone, her door wide open.  Jonah immediately went into panic mode, attempting to sit up too fast and falling back against the seat with a groan.  He was dizzy as hell and honestly felt like his consciousness was going to get away from him if he wasn't careful.  But it didn't matter.  He needed to find his wife.

"Jonah, are you alright? What the hell happened? What was that? I didn't see anything. Where did it come from? Where did it go? Did you see what it was?"



He turned his head to look at his window, a flood of relief washing over him that she not only seemed to be okay physically, but she was still her usual inquisitive self.  He barely managed a small smile at beautiful angel.  "I'm okay..." was all he managed to say at first, though he was in pain, and he just needed a moment to process.  "I think maybe we hit a deer."  He sighed and took off his seatbelt and went to get out of the car, having to brace a hand on the vehicle to steady himself as he staggered clumsily toward the front of the car, looking around to see if he could identify what they had hit.
